BE THE FIRST TO BE THE BEST GALA TO SUPPORT PUBLIC ART

The Lakewood Public Library Foundation is hosting a Gala to celebrate the 40,000 square foot expansion (the first of two phases)
of the library. Gala guests will have the opportunity to get a preview of the library designed by renowned architect Robert A. M. Stern.
The Gala will feature wonderful live music, a silent auction, hors d’oeuvres and cocktails.
Funds raised by the Gala will support public art both inside and outside the library.
